Ahhhhhh... Tim, I am so sorry to hear about the ulcer. The Boxster will clean up. These medical issue just suck. Hang in there.

Thanks Chuck & RP.

It explains the horrific cramping that left me immobilized on the basement floor last night. Brought tears to my eyes, and I've cut my finger tip off with less pain. This was my 3rd attack in 3 months and I have not even had a cold in 10+ years now.

As for the paint, I'm thinking insurance claim, total front & rear bumper re-spray, new rear tires, and an IMS.

I would take it to a car wash and go at it full blast for a few mins. Then let it soak? Insurance thing sounds like a good bet.

Now close your eyes and open them thinking this is your wheel...




Now thats fubar like the 911.

Bought a gallon of paint from a local hardware store last week and as I reached to put it on the floor of the passenger side, it dumped on my lap, the seat, the center console, and spattered on the door panel. They admit the lid wasn't attached properly, but they're not sure that it's their responsibility since I had left the store and it happened in THEIR parking lot. First bid was $8,000.

This is horrible beyond belief. I'm really sorry to hear that. Certainly the right atty can help negotiate some settlement. It certainly has to be leak proof. I've been credited the paint cost for a lid that came off and dumped in my truck bed.

This is a horrible story, bro.
